rim strips
 

just bought some strips 4 my wheels but as you know excel is written on them
can you get away with going over the writing or is it best to take off
if so, whats the best way without damaging the wheel

i have a blue bike and bought white reflective strips, anyone got a pic off what this looks like or are the blue strips better
never seem to be able 2 make my mind up

Some leave the excel sticker in view, some don't....I stuck mine around the entire rim.

You will not need to do any prepping other than giving the rims a good clean, the excel sticker will not come off if you tape over it.

I put that rim tape around my Old ZZR250's wheels, i got blue stuff and is very nice espically when you get the light reflecting off them looks cool. Never seen the white reflective ones but im sure blue would look better as you have a blue bike. :icon_scoot[1]:

I like the safety aspect of the rim tape especially as most if not all is reflective, it gives cage drivers something to look at as they pull out on you.

thanks guys

I have just done the same, I can confirm its quite ok to go over the excel sticker.

What colour??? Lets 'av a look Number3!

(we have identical bikes...i think?)

I have red on my rims, sorry no pics yet, but the sun is coming out at the weekend so I will take some then.

Mine will look slightly different soon as I will be ordering the Metal Mule 2 into 1 system. Refuse to pay OTRs silly prices. I considering customizing the can with a new carbon sleeve ..... watch this space and hurry up pay day!

Nice one mate :thumbsup: pics up as soon as poss!

As promised, and a day early (as the sun came out and the temptation was too much)
